Curly Hair Specialists for Kings Heath

If you live in Kings Heath, Stirchley or Selly Oak and have struggled to find a stylist confident with your curl pattern, our Digbeth salon is a short journey up the A435.

In short

Strand & Lock in Digbeth is the closest dedicated curly hair salon for Kings Heath, at Unit 12 & 13 Gibb Street, Deritend, Birmingham B9 4BF — about fifteen minutes by car or a direct bus into town. We specialise in curls, coils, waves and afro-textured hair, and also offer gel nails. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

Why come into Digbeth from Kings Heath

Textured hair needs a stylist who works with it every day rather than occasionally. Our creatives assess curl pattern, porosity and shrinkage on dry hair before the first section is taken, so the shape still works weeks later.

The journey is straightforward: fifteen minutes by car outside peak times, or a bus into the city centre and a short walk over to Gibb Street.

Services for curls, coils and waves

Everything starts with a consultation, so the service fits your hair rather than a template.

  • Curly cutting and shaping for every curl pattern
  • Colour on textured hair, including balayage and highlights
  • Treatments to restore moisture, strength and shine
  • Occasion and bridal styling that keeps your natural texture

Hair and nails in one trip

Since we are a hair and nail salon under one roof, you can add a gel manicure or pedicure to a hair appointment and get both done in one visit. Mention it when you book so we allow the time.
